Braid and single spins driving me crazy

[Jig Man]

I'm night fishin' with 30# Power Pro using single spins. Last night I got a fish about every 12 minutes. However, at least every 10 minutes the braid gets inside the split ring next to the blade. It is driving me nuts.

I am fishing flooded bushes where a leader is not an option unless I am mad at my baits.

Let's hear some ideas on how to seal the split ring and not violate its integrity. I'm thinking solder or super glue but not sure.

I suggest losing the split ring and tying direct or use a swivel.

Maybe my post is unclear.  This split ring is on the ball bearing swivel holding the blade on the single spin.  The braid is tied to the eye of the spinnerbait.

Jigman,  I'd try some epoxy and just epoxy where the   split ring splits at.  The epoxy will be lighter then solder.  Solder would be my 2nd suggestion but sometimes it doesnt stick to the plating.

just had another thought.  It will be a pain and dont know how it would hold up but use some jig tying thread and just wrap the single coil enought to fill the void so the line cant get caught.
